Sandwich Chart A sandwich is a beautiful thing - simple and comforting. Add some heat to cheese and bread and create the perfect lunch. Like any good meal, the perfect sandwich starts with the best ingredients that you can find. Use a nice hearty bread, good oil or butter, and fresh, in-season ingredients. Don't stop there, for your pantry probably has some great additions - roasted red peppers can add a lot of flavor to simple grilled chicken. Mayonnaise and mustards can do wonders. Have leftover barbequed chicken from the grill last night? Shred it and put it on bread. The options are endless. Place on the hot grill, press or top brown, and your sandwich will be ready before you can finish setting the table. The extra-large cooking surface allows you to make up to four sandwiches at a time.
